Follow us at Demilitarise Newcastle or send us an email for more details.
First Nations people have shown unwavering solidarity with Palestine, and are the first on the front lines to defend communities. (It was First Nations authors who were the first to withdraw from the Adelaide Writer's Festival when Dr Randa Abdel Fattah's invitation was revoked. Aboriginal comrades bore the first attacks and the brunt of police violence at the anti-Hertzog rally in Sydney recently).
As we fight against imperialism and militarism, we must centre the struggle against settler colonialism here on unceded Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander lands.
